Can someone gifted with subtitles please take this:

and change it so it's Hitler reacting to the upcharge for two beds? Please?

Leave in the part about Jerry Yang, though. That's genius.

Yeah it must hurt a hotel-casino quite a bit to have 4 customers and gamblers in a room rather than 2.

Everything you do is "genius".

What fine print scam? There is no fine print scam. It's plain as day.

What are you going to whine about next week? That a plain 3 egg omelet costs more than 3 scrambled eggs?

Dude, trust me on this one: you have some really, really bizarre perceptions. You're complaining that a hotel charges extra if two guests use two beds instead of one. You're complaining that they would charge you more if you want to use more of their available beds. That is not normal, and trust me, it's not genius.

Can you comprehend that possibly, just possibly, they pay more for more beds, and that's why you pay more? Like maybe housekeeping gets paid by the bed? Or maybe when they buy mattresses, they pay more for two? Or is this just another part of some vast left wing conspiracy, involving the media and the labor unions, all working together to persecute you?

Yep, this pretty much summs it up pretty acurately!

You seem to think King beds and double beds cost the same. King beds actually cost more, a lot more, to buy and launder. I've been going to casinos for 25 years and have never seen this scam. I think I can say with confidence that no place in Connecticut or AC have done this. Most of my LV rooms have been comped so that is maybe why I have never run into it. I guess I've lived a charmed life but I am not the only one who considers the fee to be bizarre, not those disgusted by it.

Everybody relax. My sources at the American Casino Guide tell me they will have a "2-beds-for the-price-of-1" coupon good at the Palms in the next book.
